RENAE ZINGELEWICZ (STODDARD)

Allegheny College
Meadville, PA

BA English/Secondary Teaching Certificate

Theater has always been a passion of Renae's. The hours spent on stage at MPS prepared her for a minor in Communication Arts-Theater at Allegheny College, while majoring in English. Actively involved in almost every production in her four years at college, she did everything from acting to stage managing. Even her work study job was at the theater, preparing props for performances. She was honored as an outstanding contributor to the Theater Arts in her senior year. A play she wrote for a course was selected for production and she had the opportunity to direct her own work, which was one of the most thrilling events in her college career. Her experiences on the volleyball court at MPS also led her to participate on the collegiate level as a freshman.

Currently, Renae works for Erie Insurance as a Liability Adjuster. She investigates motor vehicle accidents to determine liability and works with injured parties on their claims. Married and the mother of two children, she still finds time occasionally to perform with the local theater.

"I still, all these years later, feel very connected to the MPS community. Erie Insurance has a huge sense of service and community and MPS definitely prepared me for that...Giving back to the community and being taught the sense of commitment and responsibility was a great foundation for the customer service that I try to provide every day."
